Up for grabs is yet another oldie on the block. Unfortunately I know very little about this piece. I am sure some of you will help with some clarity when needed.

Classic enfield/Ishapore no.1 mk3 . Ill add more information and details as I get the rest listed.

That looks like a .303 Magazine as I have Ishapore but my magazine is more square
You have the Ishapore 2A1 in 308 with the square magazine, but the Ishapore factory also made SMLEs.

I just didn't know they made them for this long, but the following is from wikipedia re Ishapore Enfield's: "The model 2A1 changed the rear sight to 800 m, and was manufactured until at least the 1980s; a sporting rifle based on the Mk III* action remained in production."

I guess that makes sense that it's just a sporting rifle, since the stamp is weird.
